RETALIATION In THE HOUSE.
Passage Of the Senate Measure, with
the Belmont Amendment Attached,
Which Will likely Result in the Failure OF
the Bill-Hoar and ingalls, Rival Candi-
dates for the Presidency of the Senate.
THE RETALIATION MEASURE.

The House Passes the Senate Bill, with Mr..
Belmont's Amendment.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-Tne House of Repre-
sentatives. to-day, by vote Of 1873 to l23. prac-
tically decided that there shall be no retaliatory
legislation at this session of Congress. The
vote was on the Belmont substitute for the bill
which passed the Senate four weeks ago, and by
this vote the House determined to substitute the
more radical for the more moderate measure
Belmont wanted absolute non-intercourse be-
tween the two countries and to bring this about
he was willing to extend the embargo to the
rolling-stock of Canadian railroads. The debate
on the matter extended from IL o'clock A. NJ
until P NJ and called forth all sorts of patriot
ism and gush from the able Representatives on
the floor. The members from New England
were far more moderate in their demands than
those from the Southern States. Massachusetts,
and Maine Representatives declared that the
fishermen most interested did not ask for the
Belmont bill, but would be entirely satisfied to
apply the same treatment to Canadian vessels
that Canada metes out to those sailing under the
United States flag. But the House was not dis
posed to pay any attention to the wants OF
New England and the Northwest, which
is directly concerned in the proposition
| to exclude Canadian cars and engines, cut NO
| figure in the controversy. The bill, as amended.
was passed by vote of 252 to l. This would
seem like q very forcible Endorsement of the bill
| but there is something behind all this. The Sen
ate has expressed itself very emphatically upor
the original bill, and it will certainly not agree
to the amendment Of the House. The measure
will, therefore, go to a conference committee
| and the conference on the part Of each house
| will be instructed to stand out for the will O.
each body as expressed by the vote, and th'
prospect of compromise is not at all good. I
is the general belief on the Republican side tina
the administration is opposed to any retaliation.
legislation, and that this method has been adopt
ed to prevent action while, at the same time
the country will be led to think that blood i
wanted.

THE SUPREME coURT,s OPINION.

The Supreme Court has rendered its decis-
The decision is a complete vindication of the
Republicans, aud a splendid assertion of the
principles of constitutional law. Each of the
five judges files an opinion. They decide
unanimously that the Marion county court had
no jurisdiction of the person of Lieutenant
governor Robertson, and consequently dis
Ayres. The court also practically decides,
Judges Niblack. Zollers and Elliott concur
ing that it has no jurisdiction of the subject
matter of the case itself, thereby remanding
it to the decision of The General
Assembly, where it belongs. On this point
Judges Mitchell and Howk dissent, and, after
giving their reasons, 90 outside of jurisdic-
ton and give an opinion on tho legality of the
election. This part of the decision is mere
obiter dictum, and is not creditable to the two
judges who render it. It is in direct conflict
with the sound principles enunciated in the
opinion by the court, in which they concur.
It is impairment, and has no force in law or
weight as a precedent. The main point,
however. is that the judges are unanimous on
the point of personal jurisdiction, and three
out of five decide that they have no jurisdic-
ton of the subject-matter.
| The Journal congratulatcs the people of In
| diana on this decision, for the evidence it
| furnishes of the honesty, the bravery and the
| high ability of the Supreme Court. Leaving
aside, for the time all partisan considerations,
we regard it as matter for public congratula-
ton that the Supreme Court has been able to
see its duty SO clearly and discharge it SO
fearlessly. Approaching the case with un-
biased minds and in purely judicial
spirit, they have followed the line OF
logic and law to its legitimate and irresistible
conclusion, and have handed down decisions
absolutely sound and impregnable The
court has escaped the trap set for it, and, in
stead of becoming political tool, as some
hoped and others feared it might, it stands
expounder Of constitutional law, far removed
from the interests of partisan politics and
above the influence of political bias.
Some may say the court deserves no praise
for deciding right. In sense this is true;
but this was regarded a close question, and
though the principles involved were great and
obvious, the points on which they turned
were not easy to fix or hold. That the cour
was able to this and did do it without regard
to political clamor and outside pressure, il
infinitely to their credit All honor to tn,

SHE WENT ON TRIAL.
The Breach of Promise Case That Is
Entertaining Somerset County.

SKowHEGAN, Jan. 1.-The Emery-Fish
case for breach of promise fills the court
room. The parties reside at st. Albans. Miss
Susan F. Emery, the plaintiff, owns to 81
years of age. Mr.. Lewis Fish, the defend
ant, is A. Some two years before this court
ship commenced in the fall of 1878, the de-
fendant became widower by the death of a
former wife, who left two children, son
and daughter. No question is made of their
sitting up together late and often alone at
her fathers house while she was at home or
teaching in the vicinity, and that when she
was away in Massachusetts many letters
passed between them.
The plaintiff says that he asked her to be-
come his wife while visiting in Lowell. May
8. 1881, and tnat she said she would. This
was the first definite and direct engagement,
though the subject had been often referred
to before. 1t was understood that they were
engaged long before that. Some thirty and
more letters on each side passed between
them, referring to pleasant rides and sittings
up, but nothing in them about marriage
In March A. 1882, she went to defendent's
house as housekeeper. They both agree that
she went there on conditions, on trial, they
called it. He says if he liked her and she
liked him, and the children liked her and she
liked the children, then he would take her to
wife; if not, he would pay her wages. She
says, not that, he knew already whether he
liked her: the trial was whether there would
be mutual liking between her and the chill
dren; that the children did like her, and she
was sure that she liked them. The trouble
was that while she was living with him, he
began another courtship with Miss Foss of
Athens, which finally resulted in their mar
riage, which took place Jan. 1, 's4. Hence
this suit. The defendant admitted that he
kissed plaintiff while she was his housekeep-
er, after that he Rugged her some, but denies
that he ever promised her marriage

THE DOMINION.
Seizure of Schooner Highland Light.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. LIT is within tine
range OF possibilities that the Dominion
government made serious blunder when it
caused the seizure of the American fishing
schooner Highland Light early last summer,
Tor an alleged violation of the fishery regula-
tons within the three-mile limit Of the coast
Of Prince Edward Island. twill be remem-
bered, as stated few days ago, that the Do
mlnion Parliament passed an act last June,
providing for the seizure and confseation of
offending American fishing vessels. The
purpose OF the act was, In fact, to bring into
operation, or as the Montreal Gazette, the
Minister OF the Interiors organ, putS it, ''to
officially recognize the provisions of the
treaty OF 1918, and to preserve to Canadians
the powers. and privileges decided by that
instrument" This act. as already stated,
was passed by the Dominion Parliament ON
the I'd of june and was reserved by the
GovernOr-General for Her Majesty's royal
assent, which was not given until the Goth of
November last, and officially gazetted in
Canada on the oath of December The ques-
tion is this: If royal assent to the bill,
which was not given until the 26th Of No
vember, was necessary before it could be
put in operation, how was it that the Ameri-
can schooner Highland Light was seized un-
eer its provisions early in the summer
months, before royal assent had been re-
ceived? The royal assent was myth, aud
not necessary, or if it were necessary the
Highland Light was illegally seized and her
cargo sold before the assent was given, while
the vessel itself was sold before the official
publication Of assent to the act was made
here.
There is another point which tends to con-
firm the belief that there has been something
illegal ia this transaction, and that is the fact
that, after seizure of the Highland Light, all
vessels, whether for violating the customs
or fisheries regulations, seized under the
former, the authorities, no doubt, having
discovered, after the seizure of the High
land Light that their machinely was NOT
perfect or legal for seizing under the fishery
regulations until after rayal assent had been
obtained to the act of required to put it in
working order.

regarded as something wonderful. A specu-
lative Yankee could take horse for instance
like Jack Spratt to Sweden, and make Tor
tune in races there. A ESQ or 2.40 horse
brings a good price in Sweden, but there Is
not a sufficiently large demand for such
horses to make II an object for a person to
ship them there"
At this time Of year Except for sleighing)
road horses are generally idle, and are given
the same amount and kind Of feed as when
at work, thus making them liable to different
ailments. If an average sized animal, feed
him six quarts OF half oats and half bran
daily, and what hay he will eat up clean at
night. Then, when wanted for driving, drop
the bran and increase the oats accordingly.
By feeding the above way the horse will not
increase so much in weight as to sore his
tendons while standing In the stall, and he
Will escape being f0undered from being over
